| The Mei Ah dvd gives us the movie's original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. We got some specks and lines on the print and I thought it was too bright and soft in places. It has good detail and sharpness in night scenes and the boxing scenes though.
The four sound options are: cantonese in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.1 and the same for the mandarin dub. Overall it's a good track that comes alive the most during the boxing matches but stays mostly centered thoughout the movie. Note that the mandarin dub doesn't include any of the english or thai dialogue.
The english subtitles are what we expect from Mei Ah these days. It's has both grammatical and spelling errors but seems to stay true to the dialogue. Mei Ah should've included a subtitle stream for only the english and thai dialogue though. That would make the viewing for the cantonese audience more giving. Traditional and simplified chinese subtitles are also included,
Normally Mei Ah includes the theatrical trailer at least but not this time. We only get the synopsis from the back cover and a lsiting of the cast & crew. |
